I have downgraded it and rooted it. I can’t seem to get rid of the system update nag even after editing the build.prop file. Is the ep1w rooted? Or will it unroot the device? If it stays rooted will it kill the nag screen?

Unrooted so far, but I love it!  I dropped Go Launcher EX on it and it has run great.  Battery life is actually a lot better than I got with the OG.  As for touch wiz, I am kinda skeptical of all the hate going on about it.  There are some parts that I really like a lot better than stock: The unlock screen is more functional because it gives you option to go directly to missed call whatever,  I love the power control being a pull down in the notification bar so you don’t have to leave an app to turn on WIFI or whatever, and the Dialer is light years ahead of the stock dialer.  Everyone says they want a stock Android experience, (which I am not hating on by any means) but it seems that no one leaves it that way.  Everyone roots and or adds a new launcher on it.  I think it is time for us as a community to stop hating that companies are laying skins and launchers on top of Android and just call for more choice and better products when they do so.  

That all being said, my only compliant so far about the Charge is how VZW sneakly made VZW Navigator the default navigation when put in the car dock and there is no way to change it.  Easy enough work around just DL a 3rd party dock application and uncheck auto launch in dock settings.  It is the principal that pisses me off.

Anyone have a link to rooting instructions for the Charge?

Great phone, bluetooth audio to my car stereo works flawlessly with Google music, screen is great, and it’s pretty snappy. The ear speaker is in a funny place, and it takes some time to learn not to hold it on the volume rocker. It was $149 with my NE2 and for that price I can’t be happier with it.

The phone was easily rooted, allowed me to load a new kernel, file system and ROM and now it hangs with the best of them. Most of all the thing I love is the Super AMOLED+ Display. Hands down best display available on the market today.

Just download the kernel you want and odin, both found on XDA, and flash the phone. You can also flash clockwork recovery to make installing ROMs a breeze I am currently running a voodoo kernel that is overclocked to 1.4GHz. I am also running an Eclipse ROM based on EE4. I get 1600-1800 quadrant scores now, and the phone hardly lags.

I’ve had the OG, and the DX and am no stranger to sbfing but will hopefully be getting the Droid prime and my first Samsung phone. My question is, what is the Samsung equivalent to sbf? Is it more difficult to unbrick a Samsung phone? I guess I’m trying to figure out if relearning all these things for a Samsung phone is worth it. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

From the past three months of using the Charge I’ve really come to butt heads with a lot of how Android functions and given the general love for the platform I assumed at least some of it was to blame on the hardware.
